We left Florida on May 30. I bravely drove half of the way and Larry the rest. He drove around Washington DC and Baltimore on Sunday June 1st. We stopped at Circle M for the night and then went to Muddy Run Campground for a week.
Deer welcomed us to Muddy Run, right behind our site.
Mystique and her family were tent camping for 4 days at a site up the hill from where our site was.
We enjoyed cookouts together. Eric making steaks on the grill.
Sitting around the fire telling stories.
and roasting marsh mellows.
We biked to the splash pad with Hunter, Ashtyn, and Averie.

Alivia and Averie getting soaked.
Eric playing with the kids. They had four nice warm sunny days and after they left it rained. It was fun camping with them.
Besides deer we saw rabbits
and robins. I miss seeing them in Florida.
After Muddy Run we camped for three weeks at Circle M. Lynda came and visited and we celebrated her 79th birthday. The next week I went to her house and stayed overnight.
Larry and I went to Bob's and Felicia's house in Birdsboro. It was the first we had been there. It is nice and I forgot to take any pictures, so sorry.
Fellow 3rd and 4th grade teachers from my days at Octoara: Avis, Susan, and Mary Alice. Every time I come up to Lancaster we try to get together for lunch. It is good keeping in touch. These are traveling women and they sure are enjoying retirement.
After Circle M we went to Hershey Thousand Trails for 10 days before heading back to Florida.

Hunter playing ball with us in the water. It was another good visit with the grandchildren before we left.
We meet Larry's siblings for lunch one day. Lyndon, Barbara, Larry and Trey.
With their spouses, Tom with Barb, Loretta with Trey and Larry and me. Lyndon had a woman he has been dating come and meet us but she had to get back to work before the picture was taken.
We left Hershey on Sunday July 13th. We stayed west avoiding Baltimore and took 70 to 270 and then 495 by Washington DC. The traffic wasn't bad until we got past Washington and then it was bumper to bumper and not moving. I took over the wheel. In Virginia on 95 I had the worst rain storm to drive through. So I have now driven through traffic jams, several rain storms and construction. We arrived home safely on Tuesday afternoon, July 15.
